New to Lith printing

Hello all,
I'd like to try to do some lith printing and I'm looking for a short
"how to". I understand normal B&W papers are used with diluted lith
developer. A couple of questions:

1) Does the developer have to be the traditional lith developer which
uses parts A and B and mixed right before use? The graphic arts industry
uses mostly a single solution developer made of water, hydroquinone,
potassium sulfite and potassium carbonate. Will this work? I'll probably
try it anyway, but I'd like to hear your opinions on it.

2) Are there and special considerations for processing temperture,
fixing or washing?

3) The papers I normally use are Agfa Multicontrast Classic (FB) and
Ilford Multigrade IV FB, any experience with either of these?

Thanks,
David Romano
